Cool, I agree with your points above. From interacting with Project Items tho I have been caught out before not closing refnums, so I wanted to check. FWIW and off-topic, I was playing around with the Queue implantation above, but scraped it as I didn't like it - back to booleans.

Does anyone know 100% if I pull the Owning VI reference out of the Container State cluster's Control Refnum - do I have to explicitly close it? I am leaning towards no given the NI examples (that I have seen) don't and I am thinking it is more of a "refnum constant"?

Howdy I am trying to implement an X-Control that has a parallel Process and communicate between them. The Process is a User Interface that I want to run in parallel so it can be interacted with and the X-Control can continue to do its own thing (non-blocking). I have written separate code before which is easy but I am using an X-Control as I want to encapsulate both the Control and parallel User Interface into a single entity. In trying to communicate from the parallel Process back to the X-Control I had the X-Control register for Dynamic Events which will come from the Process. With the idea being the X-Control will receive a message/data and e.g. Update These events are getting queued, but they are not executing when I fire the event. They are getting executed when the next standard event (e.g. Data Change) occurs (hence I know they have been queued). Anyone have a workaround for this or a better way to do the above? Cheers -JG

Hey! No need to be embarrassed. At the end of the day we are all just trying to help each other / looking for help. I am just glad you got it sorted. (not that your post was silly) but I have done more than my fair share of silly posts

No probs. I am aware of the read-only issue (as I have posted on the thread in one of the links you referenced) and that is one of the reasons I was asking for a screenshot.

From this snapshot, it says that >=8.0 is supported. I can't check on a lower version at the moment, but what is happening on your install? Please post screenshot etc... Cheers -JG

Here you go.

Hi vivante A smart man once told me.... You can get a reference Class Control by wiring out is the first index of the Children [] property. I recommend checking out Francois Normandin's LVClass API too. Cheers -JG

These patches associated with LabVIEW 2010 are also out: NI-RIO 3.5.1 Patch Real Time 2010 f1 Patch

Hi Vugie I recommend creating a .ctl file with a copy of the Class Control on it. Then add it to your Controls palette. The above is all transparent to the user - they can select it just like normal. <object id="scPlayer" class="embeddedObject" width="950" height="691" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://content.screencast.com/users/jgcode/folders/LabVIEW/media/4aca46f9-66a3-4942-95a6-b927b20bc378/jingswfplayer.swf" > <param name="movie" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/jgcode/folders/LabVIEW/media/4aca46f9-66a3-4942-95a6-b927b20bc378/jingswfplayer.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /> <param name="flashVars" value="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/jgcode/folders/LabVIEW/media/4aca46f9-66a3-4942-95a6-b927b20bc378/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=950&containerheight=691&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/jgcode/folders/LabVIEW/media/4aca46f9-66a3-4942-95a6-b927b20bc378/Class%20Control%20On%20Palette.swf&blurover=false" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="scale" value="showall" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="base" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/jgcode/folders/LabVIEW/media/4aca46f9-66a3-4942-95a6-b927b20bc378/" /> Unable to display content.

What version of LabVIEW are you using? As of 2009+ this should not be an issue - as the build structure has changed to avoid name collisions when building. Assuming the 8.x build option is unchecked and same-file-names are namespaced differently.

I like this as a voter. As a poster, if I was going to post a new Idea I would want to know what is 'on hold' so I don't waste time posting a duplicate idea. NI could always merge like Ideas before release?

I have often wondered this - given that there has been 10k+ LAVA members over the years, probably more NI members, the numbers do seem pretty low.

Well done!

Is it properties for Data or a Control? If the later, you could check out X-Controls.

OOP as in LVOOP as in LabVIEW OOP?

Cheers I will have a look. Skype + Jing Vids @ ~$100 would be great. <edit> Cool, I have some other MS Life products (cameras etc...), and am happy with them. I test-drove their wifi headset about 4 yrs ago, but it is really bulky at the time </edit>

Nope, its a LabVIEW thing Project = Application Instance Target = Application Instance Thats why I now lean towards separate project files for RT targets.

I just figured the sound for audio recordings would not be as good as a PC Headset? yer.. sure...

But you are calling it from two Application instances (PC and RT) --> thats the same thing.

Howdy! I am looking upgrade my handheld vocal microphone as its just too damn hard to demo with one hand! I am looking for recommendations for a headset w/ mic. What is everyone else using? Please post. Cheers -JG
